Ypsilanti police said Bewernitz broke into Dos Hermanos Market at 412 W. Michigan Ave. on Nov. 27 and One Twenty Three Skate Shop at 123 N. Washington St. on Nov. 21. Investigators said Bewernitz forced his way inside both businesses, but police did not have details on what was taken.
The burglaries are among a total of five burglaries and two attempted burglaries that occurred in the downtown Ypsilanti area between Nov. 21 and Nov. 27. Police believe all of the burglaries are related and have spent the past several days looking for Bewernitz. Detroit police arrested Bewernitz this morning as they were investigating a crime, Ypsilanti police Det. Sgt. Troy Fulton said. Fulton said he did not have details.
"We're glad to get him in custody," Fulton said. "A lot of people in town were pretty anxious for us to get him."
The incidents occurred on North Washington Street, South Washington Street, West Michigan Avenue and Pearl Street, police said. In some cases, cash was taken.

Mr. Bewernitz was an absconder from parole in Wayne County for the same type of offenses

He has that look that he is mad that he was busted, but not ashamed for what he did.

I wonder if Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson can recover from this low point in his career. There needs to be more in place to help wrestlers transitions into other careers once they hit the end.
